August 2016 Newsletter

The dog days of Summer are over!

Sun burns have turned to tans, camping gear is going back in storage,
and kids are dragging feet to the first day of classes - time to start
planning your Fall marketing!

Go into any retail location and most have their Fall out and discounted.
People tend to switch their mindset from summer fun to the roaring
holidays quickly after Labor Day. Don't miss an opportunity to grab new
customers early and reward loyal ones.

Here are a few ideas to help get your Fall marketing off the ground:

Send out an exclusive Summer Clearance to your VIP/Loyal customers

Have a VIP reveal party for your new Fall line of products or services

Have an exclusive Fall deal for new customers/clients

Update
your social media and website with Fall inspired graphics (not only
does it look good but it shows people you are actively involved)

Proactively look for craft fairs and boutiques you can attend. Some offer discounts if you sign up early.

If
you do any craft shows or boutiques, make sure you let people know
which ones you will be attending and create exclusive deals that they
will only get if they come see you!

Take time to sit down this week and write out your Fall Marketing Plan
and make sure to include a budget. A plan will keep you from scrambling
at the last minute and loosing potential customers and sales.

Mark your Calendars!

Here are a few upcoming networking events that may perk your interest:

entrepreneurship amongst Utah women, Vyking Events hosts quarterly
luncheons full of information, incredible food and opportunity to grow
business. The theme for the August event is Balance, First Things First.
